- **Russell Wilson**, Pittsburgh Steelers: Wilson is highlighted as a top quarterback pickup, having averaged 19.3 fantasy points per game this season. With upcoming games against the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals, who are among the worst defenses against quarterbacks, Wilson is a strong waiver wire target[5].
- **Justin Herbert**, Los Angeles Chargers: Although already a known talent, Herbert's recent performances have made him a compelling pickup. He has finished as QB9, QB12, and QB8 in the last three weeks and has favorable matchups against the Bengals and Ravens in the next two weeks[3].
### Running Back Targets
- **Audric Estime**, Denver Broncos: Estime is gaining attention after rushing 14 times for 53 yards against the Chiefs, while Javonte Williams had only one carry. This shift in the Broncos' backfield makes Estime a potential league-winning waiver addition, though the situation remains fluid[3][5].
- **Jaylen Warren**, Pittsburgh Steelers: Warren had his best game of the season with 16 touches after Najee Harris suffered a knee injury. He is a top handcuff and has FLEX appeal, making him a must-add in nearly 50% of leagues where he is still available[3].
### Wide Receiver Options
- **Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall**, San Francisco 49ers: Following the injury to Brandon Aiyuk, both Jennings and Pearsall delivered strong performances. Jennings led the 49ers in targets, receptions, and yards, while Pearsall had four receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown. Both are recommended pickups during the bye weeks[3].
- **Quentin Johnston**, Los Angeles Chargers: Johnston has touchdowns in back-to-back games and has finished as a WR2 or better in four of his seven games. With a favorable matchup against the Bengals, he is a confident start for Week 11[3].
### Tight End Considerations
- **Ja’Tavion Sanders**, Carolina Panthers: Although the Panthers are on a bye in Week 11, Sanders has been a solid rookie performer, finishing as a TE1 in three of the last four games. He is a reliable option in a challenging tight end position[3].
### Additional Handcuffs and Depth
- Several running backs are listed as top handcuffs, including Tyler Allgeier, Zach Charbonnet, Ray Davis, Braelon Allen, Cam Akers, Tyjae Spears, Blake Corum, Jaylen Wright, Trey Benson, and Justice Hill. These players are crucial for depth and contingency planning in fantasy rosters[3].
In summary, the waiver wire for Week 11 is filled with promising pickups, particularly at quarterback and running back, as teams navigate injuries and favorable matchups. Ensuring a strong roster through these additions can significantly impact fantasy football outcomes.
